Wife of the Oyo State governor, Mrs. Tamunominini Olufunke Makinde on Wednesday commissioned borehole projects for the use of residents of Mapo and Bode areas of Ibadan Southwest Local Government area of the state.

The boreholes were built by the Oyo State government, in collaboration with Tamunominini Olufunke Makinde Team (TOMT), Seyi Makinde Touching Lives (SMTL), and Omituntun For Life Foundation.

She stated: “As we all know, water is life. This will bring life to the people of these areas, as they won’t have to buy water anymore. They now have access to treated water. These water projects will also be beneficial to them as they will help them during dry seasons to reduce the stress of struggling to get water. It will help to provide quality access to the consumption of potable water in communities.

“We however urged the communities to cultivate a good maintenance culture so that they will benefit from it for the long term, and when it develops a fault, they can call us to help them out”, she added.
